Northside

HISTORIC NORTHSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD

Pueblo's Northside Neighborhood is one of the most significant collections of residential buildings in southeastern Colorado. Here, the city's pioneering merchant princes and professionals found a retreat from the bustle of the busy downtown and the belching smokestacks of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company's enormous Minnequa area steel works. Beginning in the 1880's, Mahlon and John Thatcher, Pennsylvania brothers who became the model Pueblo self-made men, chose to locate their enormous estates in the Northside. They established a trend that would span the next seven decades. Rosemount Mansion (now a museum) is truly one of the greatest historical and architectural treasures in Colorado.
